N. 8.-.« THE SUN " OF THURSDAY people of Kent, but he withdrew his amendment to that effect. In truth, however, that is the only important in quiry for the Legislature. The whole mischief grew out of the fanatical credulity of Sir E. KNATCHBULL'S vassals, tenants, and retainers, and of the vassals, tenants, and retain ers of the other neighbouring gentlemen. For lunacy there is no preventive, and no cure. It is a dreadful visitation to which our race is subject beyond tho reach of art, and the real problem for the Legislature to investigate is the mental condition of the multitude who believed in and followed the lunatic. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL and all his friends shirk and dread such an inquiry, and he degraded into a personal and party contest one of the most interesting public questions the Legislature was ever called on to investigate. Pursuing his personal and party course, he selected his Committee from the Ultras or weaklings of his own side of the House. Lord HOWICK objected to some of these, such as Lord LINCOLN, Lord CHANDOS, Mr. PRAED, and Mr. DARBY ; and proposed to substitute for them Sir R. PEEL, Sir HENRY HARDINGE, Sir THOMAS ACLAND, and Sir R. INGLIS. That was another personal question that was debated with great heat, and ended in a division, which set aside Lord LINCOLN and placed Sir THOMAS ACKLAND on the Committee. The Tories selected by Lord HOWICK were all subsequently placed on the Committee, but they all declared that they would not serve, and we presume, therefore, that the Committee will be a complete abortion. Because Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL was not allowed to compose an improper Committee, the Tories will have none, and the amusing personalities of the debate will be its only fruit. We believe there never before was a case when the Member who moves for a Committee refused to settle with his opponents before-hand, of whom it should be com posed. The Ministers shewed their wish for a free in quiry, by proposing to place on the Committee a gentleman who has filled the situation of Home Secretary. But the Tories would insist on Mr. DARBY, a Quarter Sessions barrister, and Mr. PRAED, another Quarter Sessions barrister, sitting in judgment on Lord JOHN Rus- SELL. Mr. PRAED demonstrate] his unfitness for the office by his cheers. Such poor partizans as Mr. PRAED and Mr. DARBY might have been properly selected to sit on a Committee, to inquire concerning the cha racter of a door-keeper ; and by proposing them to in quire concerning Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL showed an improper sense of the importance of his own motion. In the course of the evening Mr. PRAED, after some warm words between him and Mr. E. L. BITLWER, with drew from the House, which was considered to imply a challenge to Mr. BULWER, who was immediately bound down by the House not to proceed further in the business. After the House interfered he was obliged to submit, and we do not blame his acquiescence in Sir H. HARD INGE'S recommendation ; but we must say that his personal attack on Mr. PRAED in the first instance was quite uncalled for and unwarranted, and was derogatory to himself, to the House, and to the public. Though politi cally opposed to Mr. PRAED, we see nothing, consistent with the usual laws of honour, to disapprove of in his conduct towards Mr. BULWER. It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report that the Government have consented to withdraw for the present from the Mails on Railway Bill the 11th and 12th clauses, which give the Post-office the power of running its own engines and carriages on the railways. The principle involved in those clauses is however not conceded, and should the plan of using the engines and car riages belonging to the Companies not prove so effectual as is desirable for promoting the public service, another Bill is to be introduced next Session gi% ing the State the power of employing its own machinery on the railways. As we never thought that that part of the measure:which has now been left out could be practically carried into effect witheut inconvenience, and as the only purpose which we considered it calculated to serve may perhaps he answered by holding up contingently a stronger measure over the heads of the Companies, we do not object to the course which has been pursued. The Bill will now pass without any opposition ; the Railway Companies will be put on their good b , haviour ; and before another Session we shall have had sufficient experience to decide whether farther le gislation be necessary. The Paris Journals of Monday contain no political in telligence of any moment—for we attach no importance whatever to the prosecution of M. LAITY. By advices from Odessa, dated the 2d inst., it would appear that the CZAR has appointed MEKLI KHAN, a Circassian Chief long in the service of Russia, to negotiate a peace with his countrymen. The same advices intimate that the Per sian Minister of Finance, MinzA MALIK lEHmtL, was on his way to St. Petersburg to demand reinforcements from the Emperor to join the army of the Scum' before Herat. Letters from several of the Swiss Cantons to the 20th inst. have been received, from which we learn that serious apprehensions were entertained respecting the possibility of restoring harmony in the Republic without violence. On the 18th the Directory addressed a circular to the Magis tracy of the several Cantons, from which we extract a pas sage, which tends to confirm the fears entertained by the Correspondents of the French Journals : " The Directory has already annoullced, by a circular of the 13th, that it had ordered the Federal Commissioners to return to Schwytz, and it has made known to you the mandate with which it has intrusted the said Commissioners on the subject of the meeting of the Landige meinde on the 17th. It now informs you that it has learnt, from a sure source, that the two parties which divide the canton of Schwytz, have taken up arms, each fearing to be attacked by its adversary. The To rort, justly fearing that this may lead to troubles, has ordered the Federal Commissioners at Schwytz to report without delay ; and, in case these armings threaten the tranquillity of the country, to invite the cantons of Zurich and Gall to hold themselves ready. " The Vorort must seriously complain to the States that the pro clamations posted at Schwytz on the 15th, by the federal Commissioners, in virtue of their instructions, have been torn down by order of the authorities. " We do not doubt but that such proceedings are the object of uni. •ersal blame, for they show a fixed contempt for the authority of the Confederation, which the States will doubtless not permit to be tram. pled upon. - - On the 18th inst. Prince LUCIEN BONAPARTE and his Lady arrived at Spires. On the 12th the Pore gave a private audience to the Turkish Ambassador, The Queen of Naples is, it is officially announced, enceinte. M. Alexis de Saint Priest, is appointed Envoy Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary in Denmark, in the room of M. de Tallye. rand, nephew of the late Prince, who has been raised to the Peerage. We have the following letter from Toulon of June 2( :—The re.. moval of the English squadron at Naples has caused an extraordinary sensation. The Wakefield, which left Malta on the Ist of June, with dispatches for Admiral Stopford, arrived at Naples on the 3d, where she remained till the 16th. This vessel, after touching at Leghorn and Genoa, has just cast anchor in our road. Its object is unknown. The Medea fri gate is going to Cadiz, and will probably sail to.morrow to take the place of the Sufren of 100 guns, at Cadiz. P.& Captain A. Wakefield has announced that he expects in the road of Toulon the squadron of Admiral Stopford, which was to leave Naples on the I 7th.—Constitutionnel. VIENNA, JUNE 16.-The Russian Ambassador at Rowe has arrived here, from St. Petersburg, on his way to his post. M. de Tatischeff, Russian Ambassador at Vienna is gone to-day to Carlsbad, whence he will proceed to Toplitz. Sir F. Lamb also will shortly leave Vienna. It is now positively affirmed that Prince Metternich will go to Bohemia in the first fortnight of July, to pa; his respects to the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia at Toplitz. The Prince means to go from Toplitz to Johannisberg, which place, next to Toplitz, will certainly be, during the summer, the rendezvous of the most distinguished and influential men. An Austrian courier sets out this evening for Frank. fort. The unfavourable reports which foreign journals endeavour to propagate respecting the solution of the question of Holland and Bel gium are not at all credited here. We fully rely on the prudence of the Great Powers, which have taken on themselves the duty of maintaining the peace of Europe. This peace will not be interrupted, however great the efforts may be of those who hope to profit by general confusion. FRENCH FUNDS.-Pmus, JuNs 23. Five per Cents., 110 f. 65c. 75c. 60c.

The Chamber of Deputies was busied with the Report of the Committee on the Government Extra ordinary Credit project. A motion for postponing its con sideration till after the discussions on the Budgets of the Interior and the Navy was rejected by a majority of 37 votes. Generals SAN MIGUEL and ORAA were, the former at Saragossa, and the latter at Valencia, with their respec tive divisions. The Carlists assassinated one of their best officers, Captain Don JOSE ROMIERA as he was entering the door of his own house at Estella. We are not informed what provoked them to the commission of such a crime. WILL BE PRINTED I N G 0 L D. AN EXTRAORDINARY "SUN " WILL BE PUBLISHED ON SATURDAY, ALSO IN GOLD, GIVING ALL THE DETAILS OF THE CORONATION—THE FAIRS, REJOICINGS, AND EVERY PAR TICULAR OF INTEREST CON NECTED WITH THIS AUGUST CEREMONY. SUN Office, 112, Strand, London. The publication of THE SUN NEIXSPAPER commenced this day at 1 e minutes past Three o' Clock. WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1838. Sir JOHN HEaSCrIELL is to be created a Baronet on the occasion of the Coronation, and science could not be more worthily honoured than in him. The House of Commons last night so conducted itself as to supply an admirable illustration of our observation s yes terday on Mr. CLAY'S motion. We pointed out the utter disregard which the House has for the public, and the in tense interest which it takes in personal questions. We do not blame the House for its conduct in either case, con ceiving that it is in human nature so to act. To each in dividual the tooth-ache, or the gout in his great toe, is of nfinitely more importance than the whole question of sugar duties ; and a personal imputation wounds deeply, while no person cares for an imputation cast on the combined legislature. But though we do not blame the House of Commons, the mere fact we have just stated shews that it is extremely foolish, utter childishness in fact, in the public to expect that the Members will not always sacrifice, as they do in the case of the Corn Laws, the pub lic welfare to their personal advantage and aggrandizement. These reflections are suggested by the conduct of the House on a motion made by Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL, to appoint a Committee to inquire into all the circum stances connected with the discharge of JOHN NICHOLLS Titom, alias COURTENAY, from the Kent Lunatic Asylum. It is palpable enough, as hundreds of lunatics are so dis charged every year, that it was the after circumstances connected with THOM'S case—which no human being fore saw, or could foresee—which made it of the smallest im portance, more than the discharge of any other lunatic. In what way Lord JOHN RUSSELL or Sir H. VIVIAN are connected with these circumstances, Sir EDWARD KNATCH BULL did not condescend to state ; but he felt sore—we hope dreadfully sore—at the disgrace which has been cast by those circumstances on the easter❑ division of the county of Kent, of which he is the representative, and of the Quarter Sessions, of which he is Chairman ; and he felt for the Church of which he is so zealous a supporter. The disgrace of those circumstances reflecting on him, he wished to throw part of it off on the Ministers. A personal feel ing gave rise to the motion—and nothing but a personal feeling. If Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL had consulted only the public good, he would have moved for a Committee to inquire into the rules and regulations for discharging luna tics. But that would not have enabled him to mystify the public, by throwing aspersions on political opponents, and would not have served to cleanse from the Magistracy of Kent and the Cathedral Clergy of Canterbury the real disgrace which the conduct, not only of Thom, but of hun dreds of persons in that neighbourhood, have cast on them. How, in the name of common sense, can Lord JOHN Rus axl.l., for discharging a lunatic in the common course of his duty, and whom, as he showed he was perfectly justified in discharging, be responsible for the absurd belief of multi tudes of men near Canterbury ? The supposition is grossly absurd, and though Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in his observa tions, feelingly deplored the consequences of THom's re lease, he is no more responsible for them than for the belief of the Hindoos which prostrate them before the Car of Juggernaut. We do not think Sir EDWARD KNATCIIBULL can say as much for himself and his friends ; we shall put them on their defence. In the course of his speech he said : " He believed most conscientiously that if the Noble Lord had made inquiry in the county of Kent, he would have found that 9 out of 10, nay g 9 out of 100 persons, were of opinion that this individual could not be made free and unrestrained in his actions, without endangering to a serious extent the peace of the country." But if that' were the opinion of 9 out of 10 individuals in Kent, why did not the Chairman of the Kent Quarter Ses sions represent the danger to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, after Tuost was set at liberty ? Why did not the guardians of the public peace in East Kent, who must have known of the danger, take precautions against it ? Why did not the tiergy and the Magistrates, who, according to Sir ED WARD'S statement, must have been convinced of the prone ness of the people to fanaticism, and of their readiness to believe fables and falsehoods, for all the mischief has sprung out of their credulity, take care in time to avert the danger of what they so well knew ? Sir EDWARD'S zeal to con demn Lord JOHN RUSSELL, has in fact branded himself and his brother Magistrates ; and either that danger was not fore seen, and Lord JOHN not in the least blameable, or being foreseen as Sir EDWARD implies, he and his brother Magistrates must answer to the public for not having pre vented it. If the danger were foreseen--if it were known to nine out of ten men in the eastern part of Kent, that the people were so likely to be led astray by COURTENAY, how can these Magistrates answer for the blood which has been shed by their instrumentality ? A personal feeliteg led to the motion, end like all such feelings, when they assume the hypocritical guise of a regard to the public welfare, it has brought home to the Right Hon. Baronet who made it, and to the Magistracy and Clergy of East Kent, all the disgrace which belongs to the unhappy circumstances that flowed from the customary fact of the discharge of a -"s - lunaiic. Lord JoIIN RUSSELL readily assented to the motion for a Cinnmittee, but Mr. HonGes deprecated it on account of tie. Broaching trial, and so strongly did Mr. WAR - liktTo.s,fel the unseemliness of it, that he divided the I-1 at* 4a the motion, and lost it only by a small maim-Ay of - 4,-- / Mr. HANDLEY ver y properly wished to have the AP' "inquiry extended to the state of the education of the orgt , ' j e , ' ? • 42 4 - a‘ A Zile THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1838. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There are good arrivals of English 'Wheat, Flour, and Irish Oats this week, and the weather continues very favourable for vegetation. The Wheat trade remains very dull, and hardly supports Monday's terms. Barley, Beans, and Peas, are as last reported. The little busi. ness that is doing in Oats has been transacted on the same terms as Monday. Flour is not lively in sale this week. ARRIVALS, Wheat. Barley. Oats. Fleur.

General and Director, Royal Laboratory. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. The supply of Meat, both town and country killed, was good ; trade fair for such weather, and prices rather easier. Beef 2s. 6d. to 3s. 6d. : Mutton 2s. 6d. to 3s. 6d. ; Lamb 4s. 4d. to ss. Bd. ; Pork 3s. 4d. to 4s. 6d. ; Irish 3s. to 3s. 4d. Poultry in fair supply, and the demand dull. Prices, where altered, are rather lower. The following are the quotations of each of the articles :-Goslings 3s. 6d. to ss. 6d. ; Chickens, Is. to Is. 9d. ; Ducklings, Is. 6d. to 2s. 6d.; Pigeons, 6d.; Fowls, 2s. 6d. to 4s. ; Turkeys, 4s. 6d. to ss. ; Tame Rabbits, Is. 6d. each, Leverets, 4s. 6d. to is. ; Eggs, the demand not so good, but prices firm, 4s. 9d. to ss. 9d. per 120. BILLINGSGATE MARKET. There were fair supplies to-day, and prices much as yesterday; Tur bot 4s. to 18s. ; Soles 6d. and Pd. to 3s. per pair; Lobsters Is. to 3s. each for good ; Salmon Is. to Is. 6d. per lb. ; Mackarel 3d. to sd. each ; Whitings, 2d. to 4d. each ; Haddocks, 4d. to Bd. each. The demand good. The fishmongers are preparing to illuminate for the Coronation, and among them we notice that Mr. Myers, of St. Peter's-alley, Cornhill, fishmonger to her Majesty, has put up a splendid device with V. R. on each side. HOP MARKET. The accounts from the Hop grounds come better for the plant, and the consequence is that the demand is not so brisk as it was, but Mon_ day's prices are fully supported. SPIRIT MARKET. Rum in less demand, and prices barely supported, indeed, we think that if sales were forced lower prices must be accepted. The stock of Rum is 9,255 puns, and 9G7 hhds. Brandy is firm. No altera tion in Corn Spirits. Geneva fiat at is. I Id. to 2s. OIL MARKET. A steady business is doing, and prices are firmer, both of Seed and Fish descriptions. TALLOW MARKET. P. Y. C., 475, 6d. to 475. 9d, on the spot, and 465. for delivery, and very little doing. METAL MARKET. The only novelty in this market is a public sale of Tin of 3,063 slabs Banca, and 3,564 slabs Straits Tin; Banca was mostly bought in at 775. to 785.; 260 Slabs sold at 765., and the remainder bought in at that price. After the sale 4to 500 slabs went at the buying in price. BALTIC AND CANADIAN PRODUCE MARKET. There is but little business doing—prices, however, are firm to the short stocks. COLONIAL MARKETS. There is not much doing to.day in the markets, and there are but few parties in attendance. We have public sales of Sugar 167 !Aids. and 33 trs. Barbadozs ; 1,940 bags Mauritius; 2,200 bags Manilla; and 551 bags Siam. The sa'es did not go off with muck spirit, but former prices ruled or thereabout; where altered easier. The stock of B.P. is 22,906 !Aids. and 1,662 brls. ; Bengal 25,620 bags; Mauritius 119,359 bags. Coffee: Ceylon 324 bags and 20 trcs. Jamaica were put up to sale. These small parcels realised about former rates. The stock of British Plantation is 1,936 casks and 3,536 bags. Ceylon 9,002 bags ; Mocha 4,812 bales ; Brazil 49,345 bags ; a liAle Sal:petre and some small parcels of Spices fetched former sates. Indeed we had no sales of sufficient magnitude to affect the Market for any article. No sales for to-morrow or Friday, in fact no thing until Monday, when the Tea Sales commence. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 26. The week's imports are again very limited, still there has been little animation experienced in the demand for any article belonging to the Corn trade. At this morning's market there was only a small retail business effected in Wheat, and the sales were principally confined to our town millers. Friday's quotations, however, were maintained, but to effect extensive transactions lower prices must have been submitted to. Oats remain as last reported, whilst Oatmeal receded in value 3d. per 240 lbs. Flour was rather neglected, but owing to holders appearing firm late rates were sustained. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Test There was not much Cotton offering today, and one of the largest ho!ders had riot any in the market. The entire sales amount to 2,500 begs, which brought our last quotations. 150 Surat, 411 4id. ; 50 Egyptian, 10i-d.; 40 Bahia, Sid. ; 2,360 American, 54d,, Scl. Total, 2,500 bags.

LOYALTY IN DUBLIN.—The pitiful attempt of some of the ill.conditioned Tories to repress a public demon stration of loyalty in Dublin has failed. The Dublin E ven i ng M a il of Monday last acknowledges the defeat of the covert device, lamenting its failure in the following spiteful and lachrymose mann er :—" The Lord Mayor Mendicity Associa tion the city on Thurs. day evening, and perseveres in his intention of inflictin g t h e expensive There ow is :chfar o nlers, and th e ra bbl e from all we can learn, of withdrawingas refused his proclamation to fo requestr illuminating f the butnu i s o a n n e ce o o p f i nliiognh,t lightingexcepting our hamongstouses. th and pickpockets wh o infest the streets upon such occa s i ons, and it is, that the sum w hi c h h ouse h o ld ers would be perfectly sat i sfied to give for an exemption fro m th e i ncon venience attending an illuminati on, wou ld be much better bestowed in ministering to the wants of the starving beggars in the Mendicity institution, and be a ranch more rational and sensible mode of testifying our joy on the coronation of our youthful and beloved Sovereign, than that proposed by his Lordship." SUNDAY TRADING.—The swell mob, in imitation of their betters, assembled in considerable force at the Zoological Gar dens, on Sunday last, on which occasion another gentleman of the Jewish persuasion was robbed of his gold watch and appendages. Last week a party of nearly eighty persons were assembled at Saint Sever in Calvados at a marriage banquet. These votaries of Hymen and Comus were in the height of their glee when a tremendous crash was heard, the floor gave way, and in a moment bride and bridegroom, relations and guests, creams and fruits, glasses and bottles, and the whole paraphernalia of the table, were lying in an inde scribable heap on the floor of the room beneath. Happily no one was seriously hurt; they were only more or less bedaubed; but they lost their good cheer and their dance into the bargain. A Cornwall paper states that the furniture in the house of John Nicholas Thom, in Ryder.street, Truro, was sold by auction last week; but that, although the articles were handsome, and the auctioneer made very striking reference to the infamous celebrity of the unhappy individual, the things sold for moderate prices. SNUFFED OUT.—March 4th, two Lords of the Admiralty snuffed out ; I always supported this, and am glad of it.— aberforce's Diary. THE TUNNEL.—The prosecution of this under taking is now carried on with vigour, and the shield is rapidly ap proaching the Middlesex shore. Several of the distinguished foreigners who are now in this country on Saturday visited the work. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY The Lord Chancellor, after hearing the case of Campbell v.

SONGS, SONNETS, AND MISCELLANEOUS POEMS. Fox, London, 1838. This little volume is the production of John and Mary Saunders—husband and wife, we presume--and contains more than one poem characterized by just feeling and un affected simplicity of style. We must confess we like the lady's contributions the best, for they seem to spring more directly from the heart. The sonnet on "An English Village," which is the only poem in the collection without a signature is, we take for granted, from her pen. We sub join this pleasing effusion, which is fully equal to Bowlfs's earlier sonnets, and is not much unlike his manner : " Dear English village grassy nest of peace, Where bird-like singeth still the human heart, Never, oh never, may thy sweet fame cease, Thine artless children from thy vale depart ; Long may they there laugh out in harvest glee; Down thegreen slopes among the clover, laugh ; Thy ruddy maids still carol jocundly ; Thy sons the horn round winter hearth-stones quaff, And to the simple Church, in simple guise, Still decently repair as Sabbaths come, Where in rude harmony their voices riso To God, to fit them for their Heavenly home— Oh, sick and weary of the world's vain strife, How glad were Ito lead a village life '!' The second line in this sonnet is very felicitously ex pressed, and the whole has a quiet repose about it, in per fect keeping with the subject. What a pity that one who can write in this style, should put forth such hopeless drivel as the following ! " Marinette—why loved I her ? She was meek and she was fair, Sweet Marinette ! " Marinette—like silver bells, Then rang out her laughing peals, Glad Marinette ! •• m.rinett e _t o the she clung, On me all her heart she hung, Fond Marinette! " Marinette—her cheek is pale, All her happy spirits fail, Sad Marinette " Marinette will conquer pain, She will try to laugh again— Good Marinette!" The disciples of the daffodil and butter-cup school of Poesy will, we suppose, be in extacies with the exceeding freshness and purity of this canzonet, which, however, to our thinking, is as very a piece of barley-sugar sentiment as was ever concocted by a crazy Cockney bard, while lying inspired full length in a cart-rut under Prim rose -hill on a summer's day, or watching from the brow of that Arcadian eminence, the " Great God Pan" come bounding up from the Regent'S Park towards him ! But though Mary Saunders be the author of this silly twaddle, we shall hold John Saunders accountable for it, on that excellent principle which holds good in law, that the wife is always supposed to act at the instigation of the husband. We remember reading, many years since, in a novel, written by Mr. Barrett, the following quizzical ode on Sensibility, which we protest upon our honour, we think infinitely less absurd than the above, and which for that rea son we subjoin : Dear Sensibility, oh la ! I heard a little lamb cry " Ba!" Says I, " So you have lost Mama All I" The little lamb as I said so, Frisking about the field did go, And frisking, trod upon my toe, Oh! W e should not hare spoken so unceremoniously respect " poor Marinette," had we not seen indications in the volume before us that the authors are capable of far better thing s . They have quick and ardent feelings, and a poe tical apprehension of no ordinary calibre ; we have there fore thought it our duty to administer a bland and tender corrective, in the hope that it may be attended with be neficial results. LARDIVER'S CYCLOPEDIA., -No. 103. Longman, London, 1838. Mr. Connop Thirlwall's History of Greece is continued in this volume, which forms the fifth of the series ; and commences with a review of the position of Sparta at the peace of Antalcidas, and goes down to the period of the overrunning of Phocis, by the shrewd, statesmanlike Phillip of Macedon, which, it may be remembered, forms the subject of one of the most affecting and impressive passages in Dernosthenes's speeches against iEschines ; and from which we are convinced Burke derived the germs of his striking description of the overrunning of the Carnatic by the forces of Hyder Ally—the most splendid episode in his best speech on the Nabob of Arcot's debts. Mr. Thirl wall is a sound reasoner, and goes to the heart of his sub ject-matter. He takes nothing for granted, nor does he slavishly follow in the track of his predecessors. He is at times, however, somewhat too minute and prolix in his re capitulations. LIBRARY of ENTERTAINING KNOWLEDGE. C. Knight, London, 1838. The volume before us is wholly biographical, containing memoirs of many of the most distinguished men of modern times. These memoirs are brief —some of them, such, for instance, as Burke and Napoleon, too much so—but they are all written with candour, and without any desire either unduly to depreciate or to eulogize. COMMENTARIES on the CONSTITUTION and LAWS of ENGLAND, ii.corporated with the POLI TICAL TEXT of J. L. DE LOLME, L.L.D. By TuomAs G. WEsTnnx, Esq., of the Middle Temple. London, Houghton, 1838. There are few readers in the slightest degree acquainted with the principles of the British Constitution who are not well acquainted with M. De Lolme's popular treatise on the Government and Laws of England—a work deservedly regarded as only second in interest to the admirable com mentaries of Sir W. Blackstone. But as many most im portant changes have taken place in the Constitution of England since 1784, when De Lolme published the last edition of his work—particularly as regards the principles of our penal and criminal codes, and the regulation of the elective franchise—Mr. Western has undertaken the ar duous and hitherto unattempted task of striking out from the text of De Lolrue the portions of his treatise which , have become obsolete, and interweaving in the body of the work the history of all the principal recent changes which have been effected in the Laws and the Constitution of Par liament, in order to render it a safe and trustworthy guide to readers of the present day. He states in his preface that he has invariably preserved, where it was possible, and al tered with diffidence, the text of De Lolme. On looking carefully through his work, and comparing the text with that of the excellent edition of De Lolme, published by Mr. W. Hughes Hughes in 1834, we are bound to ob serve that he would have executed his task much more to our satisfaction had he meddled with the text still less than he has done. In some instances he has rendered that obscure which was before palpable, and in others his alte rations, uncalled for by any necessity, have made nonsense of the passages in which they occur. Let us take, as an example, the first sentence in the concluding chapter:— 26 ~5 • M. DE LOLME'S TEXT. " I shall conclude this work with a few observations on the total free. dom from violence with which the political dispo -es and contentions in England are conducted and terminated, in order both to give a further proof of the soundness of the principles on which the English Govern ment is founded, and to confute in general the opinion of foreign writers or politicians, who, misled by the apparent heat with which these dis putes are sometimes carried on, and the clamour to which they give occa sion, look upon England as a perpetual scene of civil broils and dis sentions." THE SAME AS ALTERED BY MR. WESTERN. " In order to give a further proof of the soundness of the principles upon which the English Government is founded, and to confute in ge neral the opinion of foreign writers or politicians, who misled by the ap parent heat with which these disputes [what disputes ?] are carried on, and the clamour to which they give occasion, look upon England as a perpetual scene of civil broils and dissentions." By striking out the first principal member of the sentence here quoted, Mr. Western has succeeded in depriving it of all meaning. He has nearly done as much for the very last sentence of the work. In both instances the alterations appear to us to be anything but necessary. However highly, therefore, we may estimate Mr. Western's acquire ments as a lawyer, we cannot compliment him on the ele gance and purity of his style. He might have borrowed with advantage many of Mr. Hughes' notes, as well as se veral appended to Chitty's excellent edition of " Black stone's Commentaries." With equal profit to the rising generation might he have avoided his constitutional disser tations on the Ballot, and several other questions which are yet but the subjects of popular discussion out of doors His business was with the Constitution and the Laws—not with the possible consequences of presumable changes in them. So much for our objections to Mr. Western's exe cution of a design at once great, laborious, and laudable ; and which with all its faults well deserves to become popu lar. It is dedicated by permission to the Queen. THE AT.HEN.EUM—ANIMAL MA GNETIS3I. There cannot be the least doubt that our scientific Con teMporary of the " Athenaeum" is perfectly correct in the assertion, that " What's impossible can never be ;" but the fact is, that the older the world grows the more scarce become the impossibilities ; and although we do not go so far in credulity as that venerable Father of the Church who believed in certain matters because they were impos sible, we utterly deny the statement that "no sound mind should act " upon the truth that " we know not the bounds of possibility." We hold, on the contrary, that it is a truth with which the mind of a philosophical observer should be thoroughly impressed ; and a pretender to scepticism may do as much to mislead in a scientific investigation as the most " hot-brained enthusiast." The uncandid, but very clever article on " Animal Magnetism " in a late Number of the " Athenmum " is calculated—we use the word in its strict sense—is purposely adapted, to check and obscure the investigation of this mysterious subject. Cer tain seeming absurdities, in the way of inference, are se lected from the book of Dupotet, and, by ridiculing those inferences, it is sought to discredit the facts themselves, and to involve the Professor of Medicine to the London Uni versity in the ridicule and the discredit. It is asserted by the Baron Dupotet, and indeed by all the French philo-Mesmerists, that Mesmerised persons sometimes are endowed with a power of seeing in all parts of their bodies ; for instance, that, whilst in the state of somnambulism, they can read books, manuscripts, &c., which are placed in contact with their elbows, necks, toes, or abdomen, the faculty of vision being distributed over the whole body. The stories which are told about this clairvoyance do really appear to be very absurd ; but still they are supported by such a mass of authority as to re quire attentive and unprejudiced investigation. The phy siological facts and phenomena, which cannot be disputed are so much at variance with the ordinary phenomena of the material world, that the most reasonable and cautious may hesitate before they pronounce anything impossible, even though the establishment of its reality should " reduce," as the " Athenaeum " supposes, " all the phenomena of na ture to a causeless and baseless phantasmagoria." Yet it is not fair to pick out the " North London Illuminati" for censure as believers in clairvoyance. At the North Lon don (that is the London University) Hospital, there is but one advocate for Mesmerism, and his character for good sense and good faith requires no defence against the insi nuations of any anonymous writer. Besides he has not, in any of his public experiments, put forward instances of the alleged clairvoyance, or of prevision, with the exception of the case of the girl Hokey, who predicted her recovery— a prediction in which there was nothing mysterious or unprecedented. Imagination is known to have so much influence in nervous diseases, that it is by no means incre dible that a nervous patient, being strongly impressed with a belief that recovery would take place on a particular day, should recover on that day. That there is much of inconsistency in the instructions of Mesmer, Puysegur, and Dupotet, must be conceded ; but the mysterious and perplexing character of the pheno mena which they elicited is sufficient to account for that, without impugning either their veracity or the clearness of their judgment. All that can at present be said about the matter is, that a most curious and important field of inquiry has been opened, and that we should enter upon it with caution, but without prejudice. EDINBURGH CABINET NOVELS. Sutherland, Edinburgh, 1838. By the preface prefixed to this volume—which is the first of the Series—we find that it is proposed to bring out from time to time, original tales and romances complete in one volume, and at the very convenient price of two shillings. The idea is an ingenious one, but it is not novel, for Mr. Leitch Ritchie made an experiment of the very same sort in his " Cabinet Library of Fiction," some few years since. We hope the Editor of the present work may be more suc cessful than his predecessor was. He begins well, with a spirited tale entitled the " Medicaster," which is replete with stirring incident. RAMBLES IN THE PYRENEES. Longman, London, 1838. Those who are fond of reading picturesque sketches o mountain scenery will do well to procure this little, unas-f suming volume, which is the production of an ardent lover, of nature, and who knows how to give reasons for the faith that is in him. THE CoRoNATIoN.—A Court of Common Council was held this day for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of inviting the distinguished foreigners at present in London to dine with the Corporation in honour of the Coronation of her Majesty ; but no decision had been come to when our Reporter left.

CHANGE-RINGING EXTRAORDINARY.--TO-1110f row each of the metropolitan ringing societies have determined to evince their loyalty by performing several excellent peals—viz , the Society of College Youths will ring on the twelve bells at St. Martin's in.the.Fields a peal of cinques on Stedman's principle, containing 7,152 changes; this number will take nearly six hours to per form, and it will be so arranged that the bells shall be ringing at the time that the Royal procession passes to and from the Abbey. The peal will be conducted by the celebrated Mr. William Dunn. The Junior Society of College Youths will ring on the twelve bells at St. Saviour's, Southwark, a peal of Oxford treble bob maxims, containing 8,000 changes, which will be the greatest number ever performed on those bells, and will be conducted by their active and intelligent secretary, Mr. John Orton. The Society of Cumber ' land Youths will perform on those beautiful.toned bells at St. Mary-le- Bow, Cheapside, a peal of Stedman's caters, containing 6,120 changes; the tenor bell of this peal weighs 53 cwt., which will be rung by Mr. Zachariali Frost, who is considered by the amateurs to be the most competent man in England to ring a tenor bell ; the peal will be con ducted by Mr. H. Burwash. The Junior Society of Cumberland Youths will ring on the bells ef Allhallows Barking, Tower-street, 5,040 changes of bob major, which will be conducted by Mr. Daniel Jewson. The Society of St James's Youths will ring at St. John's, near Waterloo. bridge, 5,120 changes of Kent treble bob major, which will be con ducted by Mr. Robert Merrifield.

The ringers of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, will ring on their twelve bells 5,039 changes of grandsire cinques, which will be conducted by Mr. James Stibbury, the hospitable landlord of the Fountain, in Virginia-row, near the church, where the Society will afterwards hold their annual .estival, and various other performances, too numerous to mention, will be achieved at the different churches in the metropolis having peals of bells.
